Another world-record achievement for National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
...measurement of the strength of a magnetic field; 1 tesla is equal to 20,000 times the Earth's magnetic field. Typical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines in hospitals provide fields in the range of 1 to 3 tesla. Put another way, the increase from 30 to 35 teslas in the new magnet represents a 17-perc...Rutgers, Penn researchers capture research dollars to improve prostate cancer diagnostic methods
...id Madabhushi. The researchers are using a three tesla MRI machine at the University of Pennsylvania, which is twice as strong as machines typically found in clinical settings, to reveal masses of suspicious tissue. Once found, they apply computer-aided diagnostics to predict the likelihood that it is ca...
